Foreign submarines are lurking around the archipelago due east of Stockholm and despite millions of tax dollars spent; The Swedish Armed Forces can’t find them. The Russians deny everything but the Swedish militaries are sure something is going on. It’s all hands on deck – for everyone. It’s time to shift gears and show the trespassers who’s in charge.

This alternative weapon is a sub surface sonar system sending out the Morse code: “This way if you are gay”. The Singing Sailor also features a neon sign with a sailor waving his white flag above the text “Welcome to Sweden - Gay since 1944” (the year Sweden legalized homosexuality). Interesting info for any Russian crew member passing close by.
